May I ask commentary on this little moment (it’s the end of the chapter where Kly’d meets his baker):
I honestly had so many moments in that fic I wanted to bring up (the partition that is setup, the moment when the Twi’leks cause trouble etc) but I’ve always loved their first meeting and that spice fruit cake 💕
Please and thank you 💕
M!!! My love!
Oh goodness! Thank you so so much for your ask from Draluram!
Oh gosh, it’s no secret by now that food is just so dang beautiful to me. I love to make it, share it, and eat it but especially baking. I 100% believe that goodness and intent can be felt in what we bake and that is felt in the first bite which is why I never bake when I’m mad or angry.
There is a bit going on here. RC and Kly’d had their meet cute and Kly’d grew up on a spice fruit farm. (Sidenote: love to @romanticgumchewer-reactivated who has written one of my favorite Mando fics that literally had me in tears and one of my writing inspo. spice fruit was my nod to their spice fruit HC) anywho, he has his daily routine and rarely goes to the marketplace and in this one moment he’s smitten over someone he doesn’t know but he bought a little piece of them. Something made by them that they are so proud of and believe in, which I think he respects. A respect for someone taking time to be good at something and not shying from that, which I think that confidence is needed to some degree to put yourself out there. Then he takes a bite of the cake and he’s just reminded of simpler times.
The yearn alone from being transported to such a comfortable and cozy spot in our lives through something as simple as food is just 😌👌
So there is a bit going on there but just the act of food being the little cherry on top of this smitten cake is all I wanted to convey. That little moment in the change of his routine that just hits so so good for our Kly’d Bear.
Holy smokes, I need to go back!
Thank you so so so much for the wonderful ask! 🥰
